Safety in Aviation Weather

Heat Map of Low Altitude Weather Data

Ohio University does research on the "Visibility Supply Chain," determining where atmospheric visibility information comes from and how it gets to delivered to end users.

Immersive Flight Simulation for AI Training

Beakers in a Laboratory There is an unfortunate, implicit, pervasive assumption that training data generated from Flight Simulators will pass the "sim-to-real" transfer problem when training models for use in live flight.  The VizSim Lab uses a combination of simulation and live flight to test the capabilities of various simulators.

Human Evaluation of AI in Gaming
